Salon by Charles Taylor

Amusing, ultra-deadpan entertainment. The director was lucky enough to have a cast who were in on the joke and tuned in to his wavelength.

Film.com by Peter Brunette

Compulsively watchable and its occasional lapses into that familiar Polanskian overkill are almost charming.
